Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHomes for the elderly and care facilities are not only a place of treatment, but also a place of permanent residence for older people. It is assumed that older adults' quality of life in the centres may not be sufficient for their long well-being. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of quality of life among nursing home residents in Poland and Germany and the impact of disability on functioning in their major life domains. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis study was carried out using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (abridged version) on 1000 people-500 residents of the centre in Poland and 500 residents in Germany.
resultsThe quality of life of Polish and German residents is at an average level and is closely related to their degree of independence. People with greater independence assessed their quality of life higher.
conclusionThe degree of disability affects one's own health and the quality of life of the residents. Therefore, to improve older adults' quality of life, certain steps should be taken, including supporting them in maintaining their health and independence on a daily basis.
